Viktor is all swagger and shoulder—stocky, broad-chested, arms covered in a mosaic of tattoos: a crowned lion on his bicep, the names of dead friends inked in looping cursive down his ribs, a rainbow flag bleeding into barbed wire near his collarbone. His face is a punch of charisma—crooked grin, full lips, eyes that crinkle when he smirks. His nose was broken twice, and he never got it fixed; it suits him like a battle trophy.
This image shows a photorealistic portrait of a stocky Ukrainian soldier named Viktor. He has many tattoos, a crooked grin, full lips, and eyes that crinkle when he smirks. His nose was broken twice.

Good job!
The next challenge is open now. Please note that the focus is completely on photography (well … AI-generated “photography”) that is very very close up.
